They are closed now.

The value of the currency doesn't stop changing, much the same as the value of a stock on Saturday can increase but since the general and retail market are CLOSED, that value is moot.

They are CLOSED...

Now, dicksmack...

As for me being shallow...Out of respect for Hopwood, I deleted my post and shot him a PM of apologies.

Things aren't always as they seem, especially if your smarts are only book value.

So essentially if the markets are closed then there is an opening gap correct?

Correct. There is a MARKET RETAIL GAP. When it closes one price, and opens another, it is a GAP.

Check the sessions as well. London closes at one price, the market still continues to move, when London session opens if the price is not the same, there is a market session GAP.

As no broker can be spot on for every minute of every day, if you search your M1 candles, you will see gaps all over the place. Where one candle closes and the next opens, there can be a GAP.

To deny this is missing the forest through the trees. Assumption on trades to close those gaps is a plan to fail.

You seem to be somebody who comments on assumption, so as far as a sarcasm radar, the comment was neither notable enough to seem sarcastic, nor worded in a way that would lead anybody to believe that this isn't your actual thought process.

On the so called "gap" issue. Is there one?

I would say yes.

Who trades on the weekends?

Mainly people who had a bad week and feel they must get their losses back, immediately.

Gap?

I hate the term. I can not trade on the weekends. But when a pair opens on Sunday at 50 pips higher or lower than when I could make my last trade on Friday, and nothing newsworthy caused this, I ask why?

I think it is just the result of (dumb, frustrated,losing) traders trading on the weekend which explains why this so called "gap" gets filled at a very high percentage, often within 3-5 hours of Sundays open.

On a certain pair (I wonder which one ) it gets filled 83% of the time. This is based on 30+ differences between Fridays close and Sundays open. Anything less than 30 is ignored.

Of the 17% of the time the "gap" does not get filled it stills fills 50% of the difference 12% of the time. leaving us with 5% of the time that this play might not work out.

These are strong meaningful numbers and should not be ignored.

That's why I love Sundays, they allow you to play a few high performing gap-filling strategies with very limited risk

If you don't know that by now then you still have a LOT to learn. And believe me, I am in no mood to babysit you and teach you the basics.

To start out the upcoming week 1.4526, or that general area, is what I am waiting for. If it comes to me I will take it, if not, oh well.

Needless to say I will be going short with target down to the 1.4251 area.

If I'm not an economist or even if I am
If I'm not a person with wider contacts in investment/speculation business or even if I am
If I'm not an accountant or even if I am
If I'm not a seasoned trader or even if I am
If I'm not aware of where pa will go next or even if I am
If I'm not a fool or even if I am

one thing I know for sure is that everytime euro tries to tank below 1.4000 something man-made happens whether it be talks, ratings or data that keeps pa floating above this level............... That works momentarily, but for how long its going to be like this?

Care to describe in a couple of words your system? No details, just general lines...
Hey mate,

Nearly done this now. Was editing an Excel spreadsheet to include...kinda held me up a bit. Between that and collecting, and drinking, a few beers...it took a little longer than I thought. Also...big shock here...

In typical kenfen fashion..."describe in a couple of words"...proved impossible!

I don't know what the word count limit is for one post...but I'm sure I'll test it! Was thinking that this seems as good of time as any to start my first thread. Just want to park it somewhere so I'm not taking away from this crack-den...cough, cough...thread...but can also just post a link for someone to reference...rather than having to search for a post to link to. So...on that note...

Can someone point me in the right direction to post such a thing? Maybe Mag? Where to? Nothing commercial. Not a journal. Not Interactive...because I don't want to tend to it very often. Suggestions? I'm being lazy...haven't even had a look at the structure. Is there a "Reference" section, or something like that?
